Hi All,
Using the Debian/Devuan instructions I successfully installed TDE on MX Linux.
I started with a copy of the Devuan installation page and added a few extra
bits I would have wanted if I’d seen the page ‘cold’ or been a noob as they
say.
It’s here:

Be gentle, it’s my first time ;)
# # #
As a side note, it’s a pretty nice distribution. Full disk encryption (FDE)
seems to work, even the un-mounting during shutdown (which is broken on
Devuan).
And in the useless but cool category it has a ‘battery’ applet that populates
the taskbar that even shows the percent power left in the battery of my
wireless mouse. I’m pretty sure it migrated over from Xfce that’s installed
by default?
Best,
Michael

Hi Leslie,
I don't mind tracking down where/what it's coming from, but TDE Dev's would
you confirm the mouse battery level isn't coming from a TDE app? That way
I'm only digging through Xfce 'stuff.'

but if it is a bluetooth mouse and you mean the battery level of the mouse,
this is definitely not coming from TDE.

I'm using a loaner Logitech M570 trackball (wireless USB dongle) seating up

On my desktop system, hovering the cursor just shows "Plugged in" (of

Logitech wireless USB mouse). There seems to be nothing in the kpowersave
configuration that could change this. I always assumed that kpowersave was
only useful for laptops?
